Scripts should be written using the project main language
> Sure, maybe for some esoteric edge cases, but 5 mins on https://learnxinyminutes.com/ should get you 80% of the way there, and an afternoon looking at big projects or guidelines/examples should you another 18% of the way.
Not for C++, and even for other languages, it's not the language that's hard, it's the idioms.
Python written by experts can be well-nigh incomprehensible (you can save typing out exactly one line if you use list-comprehensions everywhere!).
Someone who knows Javascript well still needs to know all the nooks and crannies of the popular frameworks.
Java with the most popular frameworks (Spring/Boot/etc) can be impossible for a non-Java programmer to reason about (where's all this fucking magic coming from? Where is it documented? What are the other magic words I can put into comments?)
C# is turning into a C++ wannabe as far as comprehension complexity goes.
Right now, the quickest onboarding I've seen by far are Go codebases.
The knowledge tree required to contribute to a codebase can exists on a Deep axis and a Wide axis. C++ goes Deep and Wide. Go and C are the only projects I've seen that goes neither deep nor wide.

New GitHub Copilot Research Finds 'Downward Pressure on Code Quality'
StackOverflow's making their own competing LLM for all this stuff.
IMO, one of the biggest problems with the way people use LLMs right now, is that they're being treated as a single oracle: to know Java, it must be trained on examples of Java.
It would be much better if their language comprehension abilities were kept separated from their knowledge (and there are development efforts in this direction), so in this example it would be trained to be able to be able to read a Java tutorial rather than by actually reading a Java tutorial, so when the overall system is asked to write something in Java, the language model within the system decides to do this by opening https://learnxinyminutes.com and combining the user query with the webpage.
I think this will help make the models more compact, which is a benefit all by itself, but it would also mean that knowledge can be updated much more easily.
Someone would have to actually do this in order to see if those benefits are worth the extra cost of having to load a potentially huge a tutorial into the context window, and likewise the extent to which a more compact training set makes the language comprehension worse.

Ask HN: How to learn to be a programmer in 20 years?
So you have studied programming for at least 5 years, what kinds of programs have you written? Apparently you have already applied your skills, since you have "created a good reputation among developers"? Why a time-frame of 20 years, why not 20 months or 20 weeks? Heck, you can learn a lot in even 20 days!
Once you have learned a few languages, libraries and frameworks then learning new stuff becomes much easier. At that point I'd recommend to check the website https://learnxinyminutes.com. Meanwhile, continue asking questions here and elsewhere :)
An other tip, if you are into computer science and algorithms stuff I recommend you try to solve problems which are posted at https://codegolf.stackexchange.com. You don't need to try solving them in less than X characters, but just to get them solved by any means necessary. And don't take too much bad influence from the posted solutions.

how long will it take to learn JS?
If you want a brief overview, go to https://learnxinyminutes.com/ and look for Javascript. I guess it should be roughly the time it took to learn C++ or possibly less, but JS has its own quirks. Often learning a second language is difficult as the first.

Anyone got good resources for experienced devs that don't know front end?
Very light compared to the other resources people have linked for you, but I love https://learnxinyminutes.com/

There used to be a website called pixelpeeper.com that let users see and examine photos taken by specific cameras or lenses, which I absolutely loved. I was a bit disappointed today to find out that it doesn’t exist anymore. Does anybody know services similar to it?
Well, you could try using the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine:

Is there a way to see old local movie showtimes?
Not sure if it’ll help with this, but https://archive.org/web/ aka the Wayback Machine is good for looking up old versions of websites.

Found this a couple of years ago. Not sure if it belongs here.
Yeah, the internet already allows you to view any website on any day in history so I still don’t know why that book exists.

Is there a way to find/read deleted fics?
Not really, sorry. The best you could do is pop the URL to your bookmarks into the Wayback Machine and see if your bookmarks page was ever captured. Then you could compare your existing page to anything the Wayback has. However, it’s unlikely they would have captured all your bookmarks, or captured them recently, if they ever did.

"Cringe Freakout" video of me was uploaded to YT
Accounts you delete/make private may still be viewable via the Wayback Machine. Search it for any URLs related to your accounts, and if they come up, you can follow the steps here or send a GDPR notice similar to how this person did to have them removed from the archive.

Song playlist I’ve been hoarding music in for over 6 years got deleted without any warning because of supposed “mistreatment of minors” ..I’m devastated
Maybe try the Wayback Machine at Archive.org if you have the playlist URL? https://archive.org/web/ I'm not sure it archives that type of thing but worth a shot. Otherwise I'd say start a new playlist asap while your memory is fresh and try to back up the list in a 2nd location somehow (even if it takes a lot of effort, like typing it all out).
